Well here it is my first hobo dowel.It turned out pretty good and sounds great.I used some old oak dowls that were so hard that my drill bit smoked when I put a hole in them.I love these things and always wanted to build one.Thanks again for looking and have a blessed day.

    I dont see why I would get in to trouble for loving this art "MY WOOD DOWEL GUITAR"how's that???

    I have a piece of wood I use with marks I just copyed off my sons guitar.From what I have seen the lobo's are the same,I may be wrong but that is what I done and it sounds crazy.I used a big piezo set in hot glue.Has a real good tone.It's just like any other three string model tuned to open G.Give it a shot you wont be sorry,these things are very cool and I really hate to sell this one but the bills are a calling.Good luck and thanks for looking and for the kind words.

    It looks really good. How is the sound? I want to build this style CBG at some point because I really like the sound. One reason why I haven't built one yet is I wasn't sure about the bass side, that is, about the fretting -- is it the same as a regular guitar? If not, what did you use to figure out the fret mark spacing?
